Trouble with the bariatric chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

Every time I try to take my chewable vitamins I end up incredibly nauseous or throwing them back up. This has happened with two different brands. I'm ordering a liquid brand to try to see if that helps. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues and what Vitamins have worked best for you?

Why not just get capsules? Bariatric Advantage makes capsules. I take four a day. (dosage is six, but that's for RNY patients, since I'm a sleeve patient I only need four)

I didn't even think about trying capsules. Do you take all four at one time or do you take two twice a day?

I separate them out.. and take throughout the day and they don't have Iron so I can take them with my Calcium. You don't HAVE to separate them out, but I do because I think you absorb more of the Vitamins that way.

I bought from Amazon.com I paid like $40.00 for 540 capsules.. which works out to around 10.00 a month.

I'm taking the Wellesse liquid Vitamins (Multivitamin' date=' Calcium, and iron) and I really like them.[/quote']

That is the brand I just ordered earlier today. Glad to hear you like them! I hope they will work for me. :)

Vitamins make me nauseous also, if I take them early in the morning after Breakfast. I puke them up, unless I take them at night. For some reason my stomach doesn't agree with them in the morning. Try taking them after dinner. I take the capsule kind from "Celebrate".

I also struggled with the bariatric chewable and liquid multi vitamin... Because I am stubborn and refused to buy spend money on another Vitamin, I take small bites of the chewable, breaking into about quarters, and eat it throughout the morning. That has helped tremendously! Good luck!

I got the Celebrate calcium citrate in cherry tart flavor and its absolutely delish! The pills are quarter-sized but you only have to chew 3 daily. Very yummy :)

I got the gummy vitamins, and it's a HUGE improvement! I know not all docs allow them, but mine is ok with them and boy, am I glad!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
